"Arabs" (that is how they wrote it): 11
For the purposes of averaging (I'm assuming by Arabs, they mean Hadash, Ta'al, and Balad), let's count that as 4 Hadash, 4 UAL-Ta'al, and 3 Balad, which is the most realistic breakdown of 11 Arab seats.

And assuming Aryeh Deri does return to politics, wouldn't he seek the leadership of Shas instead of making his own party? Seems to make more sense that way. Same with Lapid seeking Kadima's leadership -- Livni doesn't seem to be the most popular of leaders. Of course, I'm probably missing something significant from my vantage point on Lake Erie Smiley

Since the poll includes purely hypothetical parties that have yet to be founded (if they ever will), I don't think this poll should be included in any averaging anyway.

D'oh! But I do still have a question...

The thing about Shas is that there are no primaries, It's up to Ovadia Yosef, and as far as I know, he still supports Yishai. and if Deri knows that he can't be the leader of shas than it makes sense to bypass it and start his own party.

As for Lapid, It's possible, but I don't know if he has any interest in Kadima, he may want to recreate Shinui instead, and I don't think Livni/Mofaz (whom ever wins the primary) will want to give up their spot. Of course, right now he is a news anchor so he can't say what he wants to do.

New poll from Globes:

Likud: 31
Kadima: 19
Labour: 18
Yisrael Beitenu: 14
Shas: 11
UTJ: 6
National Union: 4
Meretz: 4
Hadash: 4
Jewish Home: 3
UAL-TAAL: 3
Balad: 3

And I have added the averaging of nickjbor to the first post.

What's with Kadima reclaiming the 2nd place?

I assume it has to do with the post primary bounce that has now somewhat faded.

A lot less hypothetical now, Lapid has resigned his journalist job, presumably to enter politics.

One step closer to no party winning more than 10 seats! Cheesy

Here is another one:

Likud: 30
Lapid: 16
Kadima: 14
Yisrael Beitenu: 14
Labour: 12
Shas: 9
National Union + Jewish home: 6
UTJ: 5
Meretz:4
"Arab parties": 10
Independence: 0 (though I doubt they run as an independent party)

Never heard of Lapid, wiki doesn't tell me anything either. What kind of party is this going to be?

He's host of a very popular Israel's talk show and a sucessful writer. His father Tomy Lapid (died in 2008) led liberal-secularist Shinui into a 3rd place in 2003 elections, after a Labour weak showing. He have a good appeal among liberal and urban people that would go to Yachimovich and can attract centrist Kadimists too. Aryeh Deri is a former Shas leader who was convicted for receiving bribery, but he retains a great amount of support. Noah Shalit (Gilad's father) plans to run in Labour list.

Not with the general public, but much more so with Kadima primary voters, so there is a strong possibility that he will head Kadima anyway.

Livni: 23.5%

Bibi: 57.7%
Lapid: 19.7%

Bibi: 60.5%
Mofaz: 9.6% (lol)

What would 5% be in terms of seats? 6? So parties with less would lose.

"Oddly" all Arab parties would lose unless they ran a single united list.

You're right, but just because most people support it doesn't mean it's happening any time soon. I haven't heard of any politician trying to seriously pass something like this.

Frankly, if I ran the place, I'd create 20 electoral districts, each of which would elect a single member via FPTP, and be unassociated with the 100 proportional members. The idea being that it would bolster any parties that can win over a national audience.
